'We just follow what Pep tells us!' - Bernardo and Man City believe in Guardiola’s tactical tweaks

The midfielder said the manager shapes his side to adapt to the opposition, which worked out well in a victory over Arsenal

Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva says the club has complete belief in Pep Guardiola’s varying tactical set ups after the club’s 3-1 victory over Arsenal.

Guardiola took a chance in Sunday’s clash against the Gunners, lining up with a new-look defence that only started three natural defenders and appeared to have Fernandinho drop into the back line at times.

The manager claimed after the match that it was a set up that was specifically used for the Arsenal contest and would not address its use going forward.
